Fire Department Posts Status about 'Some Immature Child' Slashing Their Tires after Removing Their Location as a PokéStop

A fire department hailing out of Needville, Texas was recently forced to remove their status as a PokéStop due to public safety concerns; and the events that ensued after (slashing of tires) are being blamed on Pokémon GO players. What do you guys think---this a fair and warranted claim by the fire department?
